Ac conductivity of nano-granular metals prepared via FEBID — •Marc Hanefeld and Michael Huth — Physikalisches Institut, Goethe Universität, Max-von-Laue-Str. 1

Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition (FEBID) is a versatile technique to create nano-granular metals with tunable electronic transport properties [1]. In granular metals metallic nanoparticles are surrounded by a dielectric matrix which leads to a transport mechanism based on thermally assisted tunnelling. This opens up promising possibilities for sensing applications [1] and has triggered ongoing research concerning their response to a time-dependent ac stimulus [2].

Current research focuses mainly on two different material properties, namely an apparent universal power law and a temperature-independent scaling behaviour in the real part of the complex ac conductivity, both present in many disordered solids and recently reported in granular metals of palladium in zirconia [2].

We present recent results on the ac conductance response of nano-granular Pt(C)-FEBID deposits and show the capabilities of FEBID to create an ideal model environment for an in depth analysis of the ac conduction characteristics of granular metals. The focus in this talk will lie on generating a deeper understanding of links between the dc and ac conductance behaviour of nano-granular materials.
